A dentist and a dental company have been found in breach of the Code of the Health and Disability Services.
After the extraction, the woman developed a painful mouth and after several consultations was wrongly given antibiotics -and she ended up in hospital.
Deputy Health and Disability Commissioner Kevin Allan has recommended changes including training, an audit of the dental service's records ... and an apology to the woman.
